Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb craboter
Introduction to the verb craboter
The English translation of the French verb craboter is “to plane” or “to smooth with a plane.” It is pronounced as “kra-bo-tey” in its infinitive form.
The word craboter comes from the French word “crape” meaning “scraper” and the suffix “oter” which indicates a movement or action. It is most commonly used in the context of woodworking, where it refers to the action of using a plane to smooth or level a surface.
In everyday French, craboter is often used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, which expresses an action that is completed before another action in the past.
Examples:
- J’étais content que tu aies craboté la planche avant de la peindre. (I was glad that you had planed the board before painting it.)
- Il faut que j’aie craboté toutes les planches avant de les assembler. (I have to have planed all the boards before assembling them.)
- Elle était surprise que vous eussiez craboté la porte si rapidement. (She was surprised that you had planed the door so quickly.)
In these examples, craboter is used to express a completed action before another action in the past. The subjunctive mood is used to convey a sense of uncertainty or doubt about the action. In English, the verb “to have” is used with the past participle to form the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense.
